Another problem is that you did not check the mail archives before posting, because this problem has been covered in detail several times. First check to see if lo0 is up using ifconfig -a. If it is, go to your hosts.allow file and make the localhost entry look like this: ALL : localhost 127.0.0.1 : allow The problem is that portmap needs an explicit IP address entry in your hosts.allow file in order for it to work. In fact, since I'm thinking about it, Sheldon, can you add that to the /usr/src/etc/hosts.allow file? I think it will help avoid this confusion in the future. BTW, if lo0 is not up on your box, take a look at the entry in /etc/defaults/rc.conf to see how it's done, then change your network_interfaces= setting in /etc/rc.conf[.local] to do the right thing for your next boot. In fact, as long as network_interfaces="auto" is in your default file, you should probably leave that setting out of /etc/rc.conf[.local] altogether.
